Taking the long way home
Most every night
Walking the back streets to avoid the lights

I can’t wait for tomorrow
So we can be done with today
You know there’s got to be some kind of way
Got to be some kind of way

Don’t say I’ve lost control
Tickle my mind, lose my soul
I’m just tired, get out of this place
If you don’t high step it, gettin’ slugged in the face
I’m just tired, I’m just tired
I’m just tired of feelin’ alone

Chorus
Not worried what I don’t have now
Cause tomorrow I’m comin’ home
Cause tomorrow I’m comin’ home
Cause tomorrow I’m comin’ home, to you, to you...Takin' the Long Way (Home)
